hey everyone so good to see you I just like taking a deep breath like I feel
like this is just such a invitation from the Lord these calls that we're gonna
have just to enjoy the time and the space versus trying to make the time and
space significant or trying to make something happen or rush off to the next
thing and so yeah so this is gonna be really this these will be interesting
times I think it'll definitely be an extension of what we experienced in the
last eight weeks but I felt like the Lord said it's gonna look different and
it might look different every time and that's okay so as you guys know I want
these calls to be centered around the internal territory that we are taking
within ourselves with Jesus and Holy Spirit and Father God together in our
you know in this journey we call life and I just wanted to make sure that this
would be a place that would guarantee that we're not pressing pause on that or
ignoring that as we continue to take external territory in the digital
landscape in our channels on different platforms etc and so these times
together you know come you know you might be getting here by the skin of
your teeth sometimes I totally understand that but just come expecting
to receive and rest and be rejuvenated like you can have that expectation
there's nothing that you have to conjure up there's nothing that you have to
strive to make happen I know that we're all leaders and so sometimes we enter
these spaces of a prayer meeting or prophetic time and we're like oh it's
like one more thing I have to give myself to to like encourage someone and
I think that'll naturally flow out of us there's no stopping that but it's if you
don't have it to give that's okay to just come and receive because this is a
time that I want to facilitate that it's more about what's happening between you
and the Lord instead of what's all happening amongst ourselves like we're
here to just be and that's okay and so that's the expectation that I wanted to
set it's a very simple one like come expecting to receive I think there's
gonna be some times of and I wanted to set these calls for an hour instead of
like the 30 minutes that we had before so there's probably gonna be times of
silence and some pauses and like that's okay we don't have to be uncomfortable
with that because I want to give us some space to receive from the Lord something
that the Lord has been reminding me about is the gift of time and I think
we'll probably talking a lot about this over the next four months together but
Francois and I'm gonna say his name wrong my father-in-law told me how to
say his name and I keep forgetting how to but the author of the mirror Bible he
writes time is given relevance by redemption realities and I was
pondering on that because like that's really interesting but it's true like
we're not bound by time anymore because Christ is not bound by time and his
reality is now our reality but yet we live in time so what does that mean well
it means that we are no longer mastered by time or dictated to by time we no
longer serve time but it does serve us and it serves a purpose so it's not that
it's like all of creation it doesn't mean that it's without purpose but it's
not something that we are subject to and I thought about this when it came to the
prophetic as well because when we think about the prophetic we often think about
for like a foretelling like we're looking into the future or pulling what's
into the future into the present which is absolutely true that's not a wrong
definition but thinking about the prophetic in the in the the time of
Christ if you will I that's not the right word but just in now that we are
in a new covenant I think also what's happening in the prophetic is we are
speaking to what is true now right so why I want to make that differentiation
is because sometimes when we think about the prophetic and we think about it only
being future tense we have a tendency to always be wanting and wishing something
that we don't feel like we have yet and if we're not careful it moves us into a
place and sometimes very subtly of lack well I don't have that yet so think
about this in the terms of identity right like you someone gives you a
prophetic word and they're like Monica like you are a warrior and I see you
speaking to stadiums of people and there's going to be millions of people
coming to Christ under you and like speaks it's like that's so wonderful but
if but in Christ fullness is our starting point and all that is true then
in the future is now true now right we are just on a journey of discovering and
it's just a matter of time
It's who you already are. It's just a matter of time and that's a
gift. It's not something to dread like, oh that's gonna be ten years from now or
even ten months from now and I wish it was now. It's true of you now and so
sometimes when we get those prophetic words, especially prophetic words that
might be circumstantial or like, you know, you're speaking to stadiums
worth of people. If we're not aware, we just spend all our time focusing on what
is not yet. What we perceive is not yet and it builds this like poverty, orphan,
lack thing in us and we and we worst case is we just now feel like we have to
strive to be that thing and we take ourselves out of the reality of Christ.
Not that you can but just in our minds, right? Like and we just live under this
dread and heaviness because we don't measure up to whatever the thing is,
right? So we don't want to do that with a prophetic. Any prophetic words that you
have already or that you will receive or you know anything like that, like
it's something to take, like to embrace. Oh this is who I am and Holy Spirit's
unpacking that and time, which is a gift to me, will be gifted to me as I discover.
I have now time. I'm not running out of time. I'm not wasting time. Time is
not, I'm not up against time. You know, we have to change even our language around
time and so the best way to change your mind about something is through
Thanksgiving. Like thank yourself into the realization of what is true and so I
wanted to read some scriptures over us. So this is just just an example like
Colossians. I love Colossians. I know I share a lot from Colossians. I was just
thinking today, I was reading through some of the scripture and I'm like, oh I
just wish I had the time to dive into Colossians but I'm also like wanting to
unpack John. I'm kind of there now and I just, instead of it being this
treasure hunt and this giddiness of like, oh there's so much here to explore, it
became this dread in me of I don't have enough time or I'm running out of time
and or I should have done this already. I should have already done a study on
Colossians, you know, and it's just this subtle thing and then all of a sudden we
have, but we have spent all of our day with little moments like that and then
we wonder why we're so heavy and exhausted and tired and struggling to
believe the very truth that we are made up of. It's literally our DNA now as new
creations in Christ. So those are the types of things that I'm just, I'm asking
Holy Spirit to reveal, like catch us in the moment and I know he will in each of
our scenarios. Like this is something during advancement that I want us to
break off. Like I want us to come out of these four months together and feel so
empowered by our relationship with time and our relationship with the prophetic
that we don't, we don't have these subtleties in our day anymore that build
up into a spirit of heaviness. So let me read a few because Colossians talks so
much about Thanksgiving and so Colossians is a chapter that is packed
full of identity. It's packed full of laying out like what happened through
Christ in Christ and what we look like now as new creations in Christ. It's not
a very long chapter but there's so, I didn't even catch this before, but
there's so much around Thanksgiving that's tied to that. So I just wanted to
read a few scriptures. So let me start in Colossians 2. I lost my place but I
will find it again. Colossians 2, six through seven. This is what I love
because this is the internal territory picture. It says, as you
therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him. So it's like as
you've received this, now walk in it. Now live it. I just love that picture. It's so
simple but it's so beautiful and I'm reading in New King James but let me
just pop over to maybe a, so the NIV says, just as you have received Christ Jesus
as Lord, continue to live your lives in him. The Passion Translation says, in the
same way you have received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your
journey of faith progressing further.
further into your union with him.
It's just like this depth, right?
The ESV, therefore, as you received Christ Jesus,
your Lord, so walk in him.
And then verse 7 says, rooted and built up in him,
established in the faith, just as you were taught,
abounding in thanksgiving.
So I love this because there is this depth that then speaks
to this overflow of thanksgiving.
And I saw this partnership that I
hadn't seen before reading these scriptures,
as far as how thanksgiving partners
with our awareness, which then brings us deeper
into our intimacy with Jesus and our union with him.
So I loved that.
And then Colossians 3, 17.
OK, so this was interesting, because it's
such a simple verse, but there's so much,
like, something packed into it.
It says, let me pull it up.
It says, and whatever you do, in word or in deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.
It was just like, so whatever you do, in word or in deed,
do all that in the name of Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.
All things, and in all things, give thanks.
So there's never a circumstance.
There's never a scenario.
There's never a situation where thanksgiving should not
happen, which thanksgiving should always be present.
It's always appropriate to be giving thanks.
And then in Colossians, this is the last one I'll read,
and then we'll kind of just jump into some prayer.
Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it
with thanksgiving.
And I know I could go all through scripture
and find the significance of thanksgiving,
like I think about how in the Psalms
it talks about how we enter his gates with thanksgiving
in our hearts, and we enter his courts with praise.
I mean, there's so many things, but I just
wanted to start tonight, because this is a practice, right?
It's not, and I feel like it's a practice
that we become familiar with.
And then sometimes we become so familiar with it
that it loses its essence, like its astonishment.
We lose the delight in it.
We lose the, like our, we just kind of, oh yeah,
we give thanks, we give thanks.
So I just want us to posture our hearts tonight
like with precision in the thanks that we give.
And it doesn't mean that we, it has to be eloquent.
It doesn't even mean that has to be articulate.
But I want us to just take a second instead
of just being like, oh yeah, I'm thankful for this
and just take a second.
And then I would love for each of us
to just voice some thanksgiving.
And we're not doing this to impress anyone.
We're doing this to connect with someone.
This is about partnership.
And so we're all friends here.
This is a safe space.
This isn't like, oh, you know, like Tamara's was like so good,
but I'm really tired right now.
And this is all I can think about.
Like whatever bubbles up in your heart,
but I want us to release it
because I believe that there is power in our words.
There's power in our declaration.
But let's just take, and I'm gonna,
I'm literally going to time because I don't,
what happens sometimes is like,
oh, we're just gonna take a second.
And there's this angst that bubbles up in us.
Like, should I go now?
Should I go now?
So like, I'm gonna take 60 seconds
and I'm putting it on the clock.
And I, this isn't about like rushing anyone,
but time is a gift.
So we're gonna give ourselves some space.
Actually, I'm gonna give us more than 60 seconds.
That seems very short.
I'm gonna give us two minutes
and then I will release us to then release our things.
But I just want us to settle, like close your eyes.
No one's looking, no one's watching
and to settle in your heart
and just become thanks for a second.
And don't focus on what is not,
what hasn't happened yet,
what you don't think you are.
Just focus on what is, what you know to be true,
not what you wish is true,
just what you know to be true right now.
And just breathe in some things.
Thanks. Okay, so I'm going to start the clock.
That was an aggressive timer should have had like some bells or something set, but
all right, let's release it you guys can unmute yourself.
Let's just give thanks.
Wow, where do I start is the question, but I'm gonna keep it short so everyone else can
go.
Oh my goodness, Lord, I thank you.
I thank you.
I thank you for redeeming me, Lord, you have shown me what love really means.
And for many, many, many years, I had a twisted view of what love meant.
And now that I know what love means, I can now actually love and I can help to show others
what it means.
I thank you for opening my eyes to learning you more, Lord, going deeper rather, I've
always only known you on a surface level, only to a point, all of my childhood, all
of my you know, God, you know, me, I've always known you just at the surface.
But now I'm actually getting to explore and know you at a deeper level.
And I'm so grateful.
I'm not going to bash what I learned in my past.
It's all a part of growing and building a foundation.
But thank you that my mind is open to learning you in a new way, and not just stuck in what
I've known all my life.
So thank you, Lord.
Amen.
Father, I thank you that you are the Prince of Peace.
I thank you that you are the Prince of Peace and that because you live in me, I can choose
peace in every circumstance and that I can be overwhelmed by your goodness in my situation
and not overwhelmed by my circumstances.
And I thank you for your goodness in Jesus name.
Father, I just thank you for how you have related to me today in such a sweet way as
your beloved daughter.
And just how, like in the night, I woke up.
up to, to you and was settling to go back into, to sleep.
And you said, I believe in you.
And just the conversation that, that started is I, I told you that
I wanted to believe in you more.
And today you just like, like a, like a dad have coached me through some
things, like a dad would his daughter.
And I'm excited, bored to just even have that.
So thankful to have that, that view and that, I don't know.
It's just at a different level, a different depth than I've ever looked at
you before, and it's just like showing up in a moment where my mind could have
taken me somewhere that would affect everything you, you explained like a dad
would, well, you thought this because of this and father, you're just, you're so
good.
I'm just, I'm so thankful.
I praise you.
Father, I just thank you.
I thank you for, for your tenderness towards me, father, you're the only one
that I, that I look to that accepts me just the way I am.
And then you smile and you smile at me and to, to let me know that I'm okay, that
we're okay.
Father, I thank you that sometimes I feel like I'm like a, between a rock and a
hard place, but yet father, I know that if I, if I really am between a rock and a
hard place, the rock is the promise of your word.
And you're about to pound me into good soil.
Father, I thank you that, that the things that you put in me has got to grow.
They just have to grow.
So father, I thank you.
That is not, it's not anything that I need to do.
It's not something that is on me.
You put in me your seed.
You're the one that provides the water.
You're the one that provides the soil.
So the, the, the sun, you're the one that provides the nourishment for me to grow.
All you want me to do is to look up to you and say, thank you to come along for the
ride.
And I thank you for that.
Father, I just want to thank you for being so kind in the process of teaching me how
to mature as a believer, showing me that you are my provider in all areas in
incredible ways.
I'll have to tell you guys the story later, but I'm still in awe of what God is
doing.
I thank you, Lord, that you are turning my husband into a leader in our family and in
our faith, that he is doing things he has never done before to have an intimate
relationship with you.
I thank you that you're providing for our finances.
I thank you that you're teaching me what things I've been holding as idols and while
the tearing down of those idols has been difficult and caused many tears, but through
that, it's a breakthrough of revelation of your truth and that truth that I need to
stand on and I need to be willing to lose it all in order to vocalize and share that
truth.
You've taught me that a lot this week.
And so in the middle of betrayal, I know that you are faithful.
And I'm just so thankful that I have a friend in Jesus.
And I'm thankful, Lord, that this is just the beginning when I'm in awe of all the
things that you've already done.
This is just the beginning.
And so I'm so looking forward to what's next.
I want more.
I want to seek you more.
I want to put the kingdom first above everything else, because I know that my dreams will
turn into your dreams.
And as that.
unfolds, I get to be who you actually created me to be.
So I thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness. In Jesus name.
Jesus, I'm thankful for your grace, your empowering presence in my life. I was reminded just today how sufficient your grace is for me.
That it's not about second chances or it's not cheap, but it's treasure.
And how you can come into just an ordinary day that seems overwhelming with all of its tasks and to do, and you can breathe life into every ordinary moment and make the mundane miraculous.
So I thank you for that.
I thank you for who you are.
I thank you for who you choose to be for me each and every day.
And I thank you that it's an unchanging presence and unchanging nature and unchanging truth.
And I'm especially thankful for that and ever changing circumstances.
Yeah, I know you joined us a little bit late, so I don't know if you were able to catch the beginning of our call, but we're, we're giving thanks and I would love for you to be able to participate.
It doesn't have to be long, but just sharing what you're thankful for in the Lord today.
Okay, thank you. Yeah, I was, I'm on my phone and I couldn't read the comments or anything.
Yeah, I just want to thank God that not a day goes by without his unfailing love.
And it doesn't matter what's happening. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are.
He's just, his love is so faithful and consistent and sustaining.
It's like living inside of a self-contained capsule that is God.
And it doesn't matter what's going on around because he's that safe place where everything is provided and, and he can make it all turn together for good.
And so I just thank him for that.
I thank him for you and Bruce and the team and this opportunity and everyone who's joining the journey.
I'm just grateful to get to be a part of it.
So thank you, Father. We together lift up our Thanksgiving to you and to Jesus and Holy Spirit.
And we recognize that Thanksgiving is really the engine room of so much awareness of the things that you want us to see and experience and discover.
And so we give ourselves to Thanksgiving as we become Thanksgiving.
It's the very essence of our DNA.
Like it's, it's woven in us.
And I, I see all of you guys right now with this, like, just tapestry of like what you've just released.
Like it's, it's woven now into you.
It can't be, you can't be separated from it.
And it doesn't stay stagnant like Thanksgiving.
And that's why I wanted us to like release the sound because that doesn't die.
Like now those sound waves are, are released and Thanksgiving absorbs negativity.
It absorbs because it's, it's greater than and absorbs the lesser than words that have been spoken to us or over us or even through us.
Sometimes Thanksgiving cancels that out.
And so, so Lord, we thank you.
We thank you for, I just love how Tamara said, you know, from, from what, what, what used to be, I don't even have to stay bound to that.
I can only find ways to thank you for how you've taken me through this past journey, brought me to where I am now and continue to move me forward into a deeper awareness and a deeper intimacy and of the union that we have with you, Christ.
So amazing.
So, you know, this guy's this is like I there's no agenda. I mean, truly, which can be terrifying for someone like me but i i might.
commitment to you is I'm like you and I'm saying this again because I know Kathy's joining in.
This is not for you guys to feel like you have to come and like strive to give something out like
so I know some calls you're going to come and it's like let's go and some days you're going
to come and like I just need to sit. There will be some participation because you guys know that I
believe highly participation but nothing that's strenuous but my commitment to you is I'm coming
and fresh so I'm leading this thing so I'm here to give and so I attached prophetic onto this
prayer time and not just calling it a prayer call which was significant for me. I operate in the
prophetic and I don't necessarily feel like it's an office mantle but we all have been given the
gift of prophecy and this is about internal territory and and sometimes it's just good
to feel seen right. It's just good to be called by name so so Monica I felt like I had something to
share with you specifically and we'll see how this flows but Monica I feel like the lord wanted you
to know that significance and I wrote this down actually before you any of you guys share anything
maybe I should have shared before you guys started sharing things but it's okay you can believe me
or not believe me but I felt like the father wanted you to know that significance is not a
destination. It's it's your starting point it's who you already are and you are you are living in
significance right now and if you didn't do another thing for the lord your significance remains
intact and that's proven by not what you do it's not even proven by what I say it's not proven how
you're recognized here on earth it's proven by the sacrifice of christ for you and that happened
before the foundations of the world that happened that that happened before any of us were here
before anyone in your life was around to derail or celebrate who you are and all in between
so it's not a destination and I just felt like the father wanted to release you from any
pressure to arrive
because you're already there girl it now it's everything is just overflow of that that place
of significance and if it all burns and crashes tomorrow he has more for you he has more to
explore he has more to partner with you with and it's meant to be a delight he is having a lot of
fun doesn't mean it will always be easy because in this world we gotta we gotta break through some
things we gotta overcome some things we gotta be it's that more than conquer like mode right we
gotta conquer some things because we are christ-like and we lay down our lives in the conquering and
the overcoming so people can come behind us and share in that victory in an accelerated way they
don't have to experience all the bumps and bruises that we do as leaders right it's what christ did
it's how we partner in our christ-likeness but you're not earning it you're not achieving it
there's no trophies there's no medal there's just christ himself and he's enough and you're enough
and him i just felt like i the lord wanted you to know that and and that is a word spoken out
but it's also for you to like in the next it's not just a now thing like the gift of time is now
you get to live it now you get to experience that freedom like this is the beauty of the prophetic
guys is that it's not just like oh in this moment or in this like service that i'm in like someone
calls me out and i get to experience the warm fuzzy feelings in that space but if it's something
let me just say you can always throw it out if it doesn't resonate okay like you don't have to
take it someone speaks prophecy just because they call it prophetic doesn't mean it's necessarily
true so it's monica it's for you to purify with holy spirit but the beauty ever since you receive
that prophetic encouragement you're like wow but now i have to go live tomorrow right and i had to
go face the day now you get to eat of that fruit and experience and explore it so that was that
you know um colossians 2 thing that so caught me today was as you've received christ now walk in
him and i just saw that happening with the prophetic as well like now you receive that
prophetic encouragement i get to go walk it out and it's not this dread of oh my gosh now i have
to go do 500 things to become this person it's like oh i just get to walk it out and i get to
be in tune with holy spirit and he's gonna teach me and guide me and lead me and i'm gonna follow
him and i'm gonna obey his word and as i do that maturity happens and as i behold i become so
yeah i love you
And so Amy, I had an interesting experience today.
So I'm in this mentorship group
and we were doing this prophetic activation.
And the person said, it's a mentorship group
for specifically for women.
So people who are mothers in the kingdom,
not just biological mothers,
but are mentoring and everything.
So it was an interesting group.
And so they had each of us ask the Lord
to give us a name of someone that we're mentoring,
like in a group we're mentoring.
And your name came to mind.
But what we did was we just said your first name
to the group and they all prophesied over you.
So I didn't prophesy.
I know, isn't that interesting?
And it was like, Amy,
it was like the first name that came to mind.
So I thought that was so cool.
And I didn't even know how the, how it was gonna,
like, they're just like, okay, pick a name.
And then they like kind of told us the next step.
So I, cause I get to now like share it with you,
which is, that's the gift that they gave me
to be able to share it with you.
So what they saw is they saw that you are a person
of precision and organization.
And I'm like, yeah, that resonates.
I can see that, Amy, for sure.
And they felt like the Lord was gonna give you new ideas,
creative ideas, new solutions in that vein of like,
the Lord was like partnering with that wiring
that you have of, you know,
I feel like it's the perfectionist redeemed in you,
but like, that's what, you know,
excellence and precision,
and the Lord's gonna be partnering with you in that area
and giving you like new ideas and creative solutions,
like in that space.
So like the space that once like held you bound,
like there's even more freedom to that,
which I thought was really cool.
And I didn't tell them anything about you.
I could only share your first name.
That was it, couldn't share like anything.
So then someone said that they felt like
they could just feel the Father's love towards you,
that you were precious and unique in His sight.
And that you were a much loved daughter.
And they just felt like the Father's pleasure was like,
smile was on you.
And someone like partnered with that.
And they said that they saw like all these sticky notes
on their desk, on a desk.
And it was like, she has the answers.
So I thought this was interesting.
It was partnering with your like new,
like solutions or thing.
They said, she has the answers and love is the key.
She will share the solutions and the answers in love.
Which like, they didn't know.
They didn't know the name of your,
they don't even know what I do.
Like I couldn't even say like, I help these like creative,
I mean, these Christian content creators,
you know, however I would explain it to an outside group.
Like they didn't know, like,
so like your channel Bound by Love,
I just thought that was like so cool.
But I thought it was a good reminder for you to know that
like love is the key.
So as you share your solutions and your creative ideas
and your wisdom, you're doing it all in love.
I just thought it was a great reminder.
And someone said they saw a white sail
and they felt like it represented a fresh wind
that carried a deeper intimacy with you and the Lord.
And they felt like it could affect your dreams.
And he could start speaking to you in your dream.
I don't know if he does.
I don't know if you dream prophetically,
but they felt like it would affect your dream life.
And there would be this deeper intimacy
with you and the Lord in your dream life.
And he'd begin speaking to you there more and more,
which I thought was really cool.
So that's something to consider.
And they felt, so I'm just submitting this to you
because I didn't want to filter it because I was like,
oh, I don't know if that's true or not.
But they said, I saw this bowl of mixed nuts.
And I felt like Amy is dealing with,
as far as the people in her life,
it's a bowl of mixed nuts, a bag of mixed nuts.
And God is giving her the wisdom and authority
and how to relate to this bag of mixed nuts.
And it's going to bring like unity and harmony.
And so that's what they kind of shared.
So I don't know if that relates at all,
but maybe the mixed nuts could be your channel, your who.
I don't know.
But those are just some things that they shared.
I wanted to share that with you
because I thought it was such a fun exercise.
And I felt like there was some, from what I knew,
there was some connecting points
of what I knew about you.
So that was pretty cool.
Hopefully I'm not a mixed nut.
I don't know.
Maybe I am.
All right, let's take another just deep breath, guys.
We're going to breathe in some more Thanksgiving.
And this is open.
So just like our last prayer calls,
you are welcome to share
whether there's a scripture that comes to mind
or an encouragement.
If you feel like you have something for someone
or just for the group.
But I also want to make sure that there's just time for you to receive from the Lord.
So like, as we take some time, I'm going to pray.
You can tune out even.
It still connects in the spirit, but I just want you guys to feel like a freedom.
Because this is some time, and I just want to remind you, this is about internal territory.
I'm going to continue to remind you.
It's about internal territory.
There are so many things.
It doesn't mean that we're disconnected from what's happening externally around us,
but sometimes when there's so many things happening externally around us,
we can ignore what's happening within us.
I'm so glad, Amy, that that resonated.
That's really cool.
And the question is, Lord, what are you building in me?
What territory are we taking together?
And so I know how easy it can be to focus.
And sometimes those circumstances that are happening,
though they're not necessarily caused by the Lord,
He's utilizing them to be an opportunity to partner with what He's building in us, right?
So I don't want to say, like, they're not significant or they're not,
but I don't, sometimes it becomes so, like, I just need to pray about the circumstance.
I need to resolve in the circumstance that we forget to focus
and become more aware of, like, what is the Lord doing to me?
What is He building in me, if that makes sense?
And so, Walt, you're highlighted to me right now.
I love what you're doing with, because you've really championed prayer.
You've really championed prayer in some of your challenges and what you've been doing.
And I don't know if that's something that you've always,
I know that part of your background is, you know,
you've led small groups and things like that.
But there's something that the Lord is, like, there's this,
I'm going to probably get the word wrong.
Let me see if I can.
It's like an amplification that's happening within you right now.
And prayer, it's happening through your prayer life.
Like, it's, I know that sounds, like, simplistic.
Like, of course, like, so much happens in prayer.
But it's like, don't take your finger off that.
Don't take your hand away from that.
Because it's not something that you're just trying.
It's built into who you are.
Like, you are a man of prayer.
And that is how you bring breakthrough to people and places.
Like, I know that you have a heart for where you are right now,
for the nation of Sweden.
Like, there's a significant, like, it's an intercessory anointing on you.
I might just be, like, telling you everything you already know.
I'm not trying to be profound.
But I just felt like the Lord was like,
don't take your hand off that wheel.
That's what I was trying to say.
Don't take your hand off that wheel.
And it's being amplified.
So you're seeing, like, you're seeing this.
But what's happening is this.
Does that make sense?
And so the more you do this, don't feel like it's staying at that measure.
Because there's a fullness taking place in the spirit that is happening
at a, like, 100x multiplication factor to what you're seeing in the natural.
So continue.
The prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective.
And the prayers of Walt Williams are powerful and effective.
So don't take your hand off that wheel.
Awesome.
So let's just take a deep breath, guys.
We're going to breathe in some things.
For most of us, I think, maybe not Walt.
Because I know he's on a very different time zone.
But we are ending our day.
And we're going to be starting a fresh new day tomorrow.
It's still true for Walt.
He just might be in the middle.
But tomorrow is a fresh day.
And we don't have to wait for tomorrow to experience the freshness now.
We can breathe it in right now.
We can stay fresh right now.
So thank you, Lord, that your mercies are new every morning.
Thank you that there is so much wide open space in you.
That we don't have to be bound to a formula or a box or a stagnant agenda.
That it doesn't have to always be the way that it's been.
That you have broken the mold.
And that every day is fresh.
We're not tied to any tradition.
We're not tied to any specific way of doing something.
We're not bound.
We're not...
I don't know who this is for.
But I'll speak it out.
And if it resonates with you.
But I just feel like there's someone here.
Maybe someone's here.
That are feeling bound to this.
Like almost enslaved to this is how we've always done it.
And this is how I always have to continue to do.
it and you're afraid to step out of that box because it feels like you're quitting or you're
letting people down. But the Lord is like inviting you to like take a step out of the box
and do something fresh like you've lost the motivation and the desire to continue but
you're doing it out of a sense of loyalty and you feel like it's slowly sucking the life out of you
and you're free to do something new. I just feel like there's a there's a freedom there's a new
day there's a freshness and it's okay. I'm like reminded of Abraham like it's okay if you don't
know what the new thing looks like entirely like it feels like well I don't even know what I would
be doing if I wasn't doing this and so I'm just going to continue to do this and that is like
it's you just feel like chained to it and you're not excited about it and you kind of there's been
this over like there's been this growth of like dread each time you have to like enter that box
and continue in that space. So Lord here's what we know we don't have to do anything recklessly
because we have the spirit of wisdom. We don't have to move forward into a new space
in reckless abandon abandonment but we can move forward not knowing all the steps because we're
held in you. We have the spirit of wisdom speaking to us teaching us. We know that we can always ask
for more wisdom and you give it liberally without finding fault. You're not going to nitpick on how
we're doing something. All we have to focus on Lord is our is that our pure heart towards you
wanting to obey you wanting to follow you and I just Lord just release release whoever it is
right now from that spirit of intimidation. It's like a religious spirit that's saying like if you
move out of the box you're like you are going to ruin everything. It's like that's a religious
spirit that wants to hold you back with a formula with a ritual with the law
and the Lord is giving you wide open spaces. There's so much freedom as sons of God we have
so much freedom. Our freedom is found in him and him alone. Our freedom is not found in following
a formula. Our freedom is not even found in us knowing all the steps. Our freedom is found in
him and so like Abraham like he just knew that he had to leave the familiar land and go to a place
that the Lord was showing him. He didn't know where that place was but he knew God and that
was enough and he wanted to obey God and that was that was what his choice was and so so the choice
to make is can I trust the Lord enough to get out of the box and follow him even if I don't know
the way. It's not an easy choice but it is a freeing one and Spirit of Wisdom I just invite
you to give wisdom liberally to whoever needs it right now and in what to do next. What is the next
step? I don't even know the thousand steps just what is the next step. I know you'll speak to them
you'll show them clearly. It'll be done in peace.
Father I thank you that you are a rock. You're a salvation. We don't have to fear anyone
because of that truth that we are found in you. You're a safe place. We belong to you.
Amen.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I just see that the Lord, I just saw his hand and there were these gems in his hands are all different colors.
And I, I saw each one of us picking them up out of his hand and taking it with us and I, I don't know what they are.
But I feel like the Lord is going to and obviously it's treasure right it's something good. It's a gem for crying out loud.
And I just feel like there's a gift that the Lord is like.
Yeah, there's a treasure that he's giving each of you.
And it's like, I believe that there's like a clarity, like there were so the gems are so clear.
And I felt like the Lord is bringing clarity but I feel like it's different, a different kind of clarity, like it's not it's a unique, it's, I'll say this, it's, it's on an individual basis for each of us.
So I don't like I, I could know what it is for me but not necessarily for Tamara but there's something of a deeper clarity in a specific area that's meaningful to us.
For me, I think personally, it's a deeper, it's like the gem represents a clarity of peace.
Like, and I mean you guys can have it too and I'm saying it's just for me but like I know that there's a sign if there's something significant in that area that's being retested in the season of my life right now like I've experienced certain deaths.
And I feel like I'm about to experience like a new death like I felt like there was like today was like in a beautiful way like a precursor to that. So if there's an area where you're like I've had.
I've had victory in this area before.
And it doesn't have to like it can be anything you know what it is like it can be career it doesn't have to be like a fruit of the spirit necessarily but there's like yes like I've had, but it feels like there's been a retesting.
And I just felt like the gem represented like a deeper clarity it's a provision for the testing.
It's, it's a deeper clarity in that area like a greater depth in that area so you guys know what that is for you I'm not even asking you for to share it's between you and the Lord and you might not know what it is right now it's okay it'll be unpacked
later.
But there's a greater clarity coming and so there's I think there's a tendency I know for me that if I, if there's an area where I feel like I've experienced like, yes, like there's some conquering there's some overcoming this area.
And there's a retesting sometimes it can feel more intense, because you're like, wow, but here's the truth. I am not the same person I was when I was first tested in that area, because I've matured in the space.
So even though the testing might feel more intense. I am more intense towards the testing.
Does that make sense like there is a intensity it's not a okay this is what it's not it's not a new levels new devils, I don't believe in that at all, and there's people that I deeply care about that I've said that before from stage, and there's no shame
there's no shade or shame that I'm throwing it's just like, that's not what it is.
There's a, there's a, there's an intensity sometimes that comes and it's, it's not for you to cower to because you, the, the one in you is greater than he was in a world so like you're meeting it at the same.
I mean you're meeting it at a greater intensity.
It's who you are. And these gems were like, they just so bright so intensely bright. These gems, and there was such an intense worth and I felt like the Lord was just like a reminder like take this with you, because it's who it's, it's what's happening
So, so we thank you for that Lord we thank you that the clarity is coming in that area and there's a, you know, we are experiencing a greater awareness we're experiencing a greater intensity, and
it's not we will
not be overcome by the intensity of the testing because we have already experienced the greater
intensity in who you are. We're just becoming aware of that intensity. I don't know why I
keep using that word, but there's something significant in that word. We meet our circumstances.
Have you ever thought of your circumstances from your circumstances point of view?
Like we always think about how we like, oh my gosh, like this is so, but like,
have you ever thought about what your circumstance sees when it looks at you?
I know that's kind of crazy to think of to personify the circumstance, but it's true.
It's true. The circumstance sees you, negative circumstance in our lives sees you and cowers
and it's throwing everything it can at you. I mean, really, we're talking about the enemy here.
Let's just use a circumstance, whatever it is. I'm not talking about other people,
though other people may be partnering with the enemy's plans. Maybe they don't realize it. Maybe
they do realize it. They're coming across pretty intense, right? But we're sons.
The circumstance sees Jesus when it looks at us. There's no separation.
So we're going to, we're going to close with this.
I want to give thanks for each of you. I want to name you guys by name. Isaiah 40, 43, I'm sorry,
says, but now says the Lord who created you a Jacob and he who formed you Israel,
fear not for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name. You are mine.
And I know it's kind of silly. Like I learned it from Graham. If you guys know,
Graham, you probably heard him say it like give thanks until you become things. But like,
that's what I see happening right now on this call is like, we gave thanks and I wanted you
just to participate a little bit. I just wanted to be, I just wanted to feel, um, I don't want
to feel like this heavy activation, like that's for Tuesdays. Right. But like,
I want you to just participate because that's the seed. Right. And now we're going to be
and now we're going to become things. And I just want to like speak Thanksgiving over you and thank
the Lord for who you guys are because, because I want the enemy to hear. And I want you guys to
hear. So father, we thank you for wall. We thank you that he is a righteous man and his prayers
are powerful and effective. And we thank you that he does not give up and that he does not quit.
And we thank you that he has chosen you and the people around him get to experience the fruit of
that choice. They get to taste and see that you are good because Walt said yes to you.
He said yes to becoming like Christ. And he has not given up on that no matter how hard it has
gotten. And it has gotten pretty hard and intense at times. He has not let circumstances define him.
He's not let learning disabilities define him. He's not let people who don't know you
define him. He has taken off all of those words, all of that negativity,
and he has said yes to you and you alone. And people will be blessed because of who Walt is.
And that Walt is in their lives. So we thank you for that. And Lord, I thank you for Monica
because she does not back down.
And I thank you that she is bold and courageous.
And I thank you, Lord, that peace is her inheritance.
And I thank you, Lord, that even in the midst of extremely hard, devastating circumstances,
letdowns, disappointments, discouragement, she has chosen hope.
And that's not an easy thing, but it is a freeing one.
And Lord, I thank you that Monica is a person of peace. She's a person of grace.
And she is a daughter that you love so deeply. And Lord, I just pray that that love that you
feel towards her would be tangible right now, that she'd have an encounter with that.
And it wouldn't be for anyone else, just for her to experience. She's such a giver, Lord. I thank
you for her generosity. I thank you that she gives. Lord, you multiply every seed that she
has sown. She's about to reap a harvest. She forgot that she planted. But I pray, Lord, that just
right now.
And this evening, when she's alone with you, Lord,
that she would have an encounter with your love for her,
and it would just be for her.
She doesn't have to give it away.
It's just for her.
It's bread for eating, so I thank you for that.
And Lord, I thank you for Bridget.
I thank you that she is a person who makes bold decisions.
She's a person that goes when you say go.
She's a person that says stay when you say stay,
no matter what it costs her, Lord.
And Lord, I thank you that her sacrifices are not wasted.
I thank you, Lord, that she is going
to be experiencing on a deeper level
the harvest of the sacrifices that she's given towards others,
and she's going to experience it at an accelerated rate.
It's going to feel like whiplash,
but a good whiplash that won't hurt your neck.
And Lord, I just thank you that she's a woman of strength.
And Lord, I just pray that you would infuse her right now
with greater strength.
You would infuse her with a deeper revelation
that your grace is sufficient for her,
that your power is made perfect, and even in her weakness, Lord.
And I just pray that there would be
an ease at which she is strengthened,
because being strengthened is a workout until you've
built the muscle, Lord, and she's built the muscle.
And now she can lift heavy weights with ease.
And I just pray, Lord, that she would experience that this week,
or that that would be a tangible reality for her this week,
that she would be lifting heavy weights with ease,
because the muscle's been built. Thank you for that, Lord.
Lord, I thank you for Tamara.
I thank you that she is a woman of depth.
She's a highly intellectual woman, like of great IQ.
And Father, I thank you that she is someone
that you have purposed before the foundations of the world
to bring great freedom to people who don't know you yet.
Like, she is a bridge between pre-Christians and Christian.
Like, she is, I see this evangelistic call on you,
Tamara.
Like, you go into spaces that some people
aren't willing to go into, because they're like, no,
we've tried that.
It doesn't work.
Like, those people are unreachable, like, whatever.
And you just become this bridge.
It's just like who you are.
And you just connect.
And you're like, oh, here it is.
Meet Christ.
Meet Christ in me, the hope of glory.
And I just, I don't know if this is true or not.
Like, you've never shared this with me.
But like, I feel like there's something
to do with, like, you being a person of high IQ,
that, like, you're an intellectual woman.
You're a woman of great depth, that people have dismissed
that part of you before.
And the Lord is bringing healing and redemption to that.
And you're going to walk in a level of, like,
great depth and intellect like never before.
Like, it's there.
But I feel like you've had, felt like you've had to hold back
because of how people have defined you in the past.
And you've just had to kind of, like, work around it.
And then, like, enter into a space and kind of share.
But it's had to be, like, incognito because, like,
people, you didn't feel like people would receive it
because you've been so diminished in the past.
The Lord's like, we're dealing with that once and for all.
And it's like, you don't even have to try.
It's already who you are, but you're just going to show up,
and you're going to share things of such depth and revelation.
And people are going to be like, how did you even,
how do you know that?
Like, how do you know that?
Like, wisdom and intellect and depth.
So thank you, Lord, for that.
Lord, thank you that Tamara no longer lives diminished.
She no longer lives dismissed.
It wasn't something that she meant to do.
It was something that people wanted to hold her back.
Like, there was this, like, there was this ickiness
in people or a person in particular
that wanted to, like, hold you back.
And the Lord's like, that was never the plan.
And you've continued to press into him
even though there's been this, like, guardedness
because of people who have represented him
that, like, misrepresented him to you.
But he's like, girl, that was never the plan.
So this is the way walking it.
We're going to walk in this together,
and no one is going to mess with my girl anymore.
Like, like a father, he was like,
no one's messing with my girl,
and she's going to shine unapologetically.
So we thank you for that. Lord, I thank you for Amy. I thank you that she is a person who has overcome
incredible things, and she does it with such grace. She shows up in places with such grace and love
that people would never know. The behind the scenes, the warrior in Amy, the warrior that she
is, but she is a warrior, Lord. And the expression of grace is her strength under control, and it is
magnificent. It's magnificent. It's this meekness that allows her to come in with such precision
and share such deep truths and transform people with your love and your grace,
and I thank you for that. And I thank you that she is loved by you. I thank you that she's
experiencing, like she shared today, she's experiencing greater levels, greater encounters
with you of that tangible love. And I thank you that you are continuing to heal her heart
in such magnificent and miraculous ways. And Amy, I just saw that you have healing hands.
Like a healed heart heals hearts, and there's this like openness that you are
walking with, like kind of like with open hands, and it's this approachability that allows people
to step into this vulnerable space, because love is a very vulnerable space, but they step into
the space with you, and they're transformed. And that's what Christ does. He does it through you.
And God, I thank you for Kathy.
Oh man, I thank you for Kathy. Such a willing heart, Lord.
It's like, Lord, you roam the earth looking for people that you can entrust, and you trust Kathy,
because she is so willing to partner with your will.
And it's, unfortunately, but you know, you know what I'm trying to say, it's unique.
And you're like, Lord, you're just like, oh, to have more Kathys. I love everything about her.
I love her willing heart. I love how she longs to match my will, longs to partner with my will.
And Kathy, I just, I see you're entering this new season,
and it's like this fresh new season, and it feels a little bit like a blank slate.
But the Lord is like, he's right there, ready to create with you. And it's going to be such fun
and such adventure. And it's going to feel like, like almost like, are we allowed to have this
much fun? Is this okay, Lord? So Lord, I thank you for that. I thank you that you have made Kathy
an adventurous person. She shares your adventurous heart, Lord. And you have removed
any intimidation that would keep her from stepping into this new fresh blank season.
And I thank you, Lord, that I thank you for what's going to come out of this season,
the creativity, the depth of revelation, the fun. You know, fun, Kathy, breaks the religious spirit
in a heartbeat. Like the religious spirit has no tolerance for fun. So when the people of God
have fun, it's like, it can't even stand, it can't even stand in the same vicinity as fun.
And I just feel like you were created for fun. And the Lord's going to show you what that means.
And he's going to, he's going to take you on an adventure that is going to be,
it's going to be fun. It's not going to just be impactful and influential and all those things,
those are great. But like, it's actually going to be fun. So we thank you for that, Lord.
We thank you for this time. We thank you for this, this season that we have together,
where we're going to be taking internal territory, as well as the external territory,
Lord. This is like, it's like, I feel like we're starting new again, but we're not, we're building
on a foundation. But I feel like there's like this wildness to it that the Lord is like inviting us
into. That even for me feels a bit much. I just want to be, I just wanted to be so structured.
But I know that the Lord is like, releasing us from some of that, like, and myself included.
So it's going to be, it's going to be great, guys. And so thank you for being here. I know
we've gone a little bit over, I want to honor your time. Just remember, there's a gem of clarity
coming that you guys have you received. And I feel like the Holy Spirit's gonna be unpacking
that in this month, and beyond, of course. But what you've, what you've
Receive tonight if any of its resonated and you're like I want to stir on that more one take that just know it doesn't end with this it doesn't end with the warm fuzzy is now you get to go live it.
So as you receive Christ now go walk in him so I love you guys have a great night and I'll see you on tomorrow's coaching call. Okay, bye bye.
